Falls–Shankill Walking Tour Reveals Dual Perspectives of Belfast’s History
Visitors can experience Belfast like never before on the joint Falls–Shankill Tour, where history and personal narratives come vividly to life. This three-hour walking experience allows guests to explore both nationalist and unionist communities while hearing firsthand accounts from former republican prisoners and loyalist activists.
On the nationalist section, the tour takes visitors along the Falls Road, where they view the internationally known International Wall with its political murals, the Republican Memorial Garden, and the iconic Bobby Sands mural. The route also passes through Clonard, home to the historic Clonard Monastery, as well as Bombay Street, a significant location linked to events from 1969.
The journey then transitions into the Shankill Road area, offering the loyalist perspective of the city’s divided history. Guests hear stories from local communities and visit important landmarks that reflect life in unionist neighborhoods.
Beginning at the Coiste mural at Divis Tower and concluding on Lower Shankill Road, the tour provides a balanced and immersive exploration of Belfast’s past conflicts. Through guided storytelling and lived experiences, visitors gain a deeper understanding of the city’s history and its ongoing path toward peace and reconciliation.
